At last! An award for the year’s best film books from around the globe across 9 rarely acknowledged categories. And who better to propose and champion that award than Danel Olson, Professor of Gothic Literature and Film Studies, himself an editor and author of many acclaimed scholarly articles and books, such as Gothic War on Terror: Killing, Haunting, and PTSD in American Film, Fiction, Comics, and Video Games and Guillermo Del Toro's “The Devil's Backbone” and “Pan's Labyrinth”: Studies in the Horror Film!

Referencing France, where the first movie night--with the Lumière Brothers--took place at Paris's Grand Café on 28 December 1895, the Eiffel Award brings deserved recognition and new readers to cinema books, and deepens our connections to the art of light and shadows
